Hey everyone,

My stock turbo is no longer with us and I am after a replacement, would my best option be finding a second hand one in decent condition or getting something brand new that is equivalent to the stock turbo? Any suggestions on what they might be?

Thanks

Do you still have the turbo? Just get it high flowed, much cheaper than a whole new turbo and it will be stronger and won't let go again. Oh and more power :)

Search for Hypergear on the forum and check out the high flows

2nd hand in usable condition will be about $150 - $250. If you won't be installing it yourself, labour is the only pricey bit here.

Highflowing your current one will machine your stuffed one (assuming no damage to the housing) and replace the center bits for about $800-1200, however for this to work in your car at full potential, it'll need another $2000-3000 worth of supporting mods (intercooler, exhaust, z32 air flow meter, aftermarket ECU, tune, maybe injectors).... and then you'll be a target for police, and/or realise you should have just spend $5000 for a nice garrett turbo like a 3071/3076 package instead of $4500 for a highflow package

Buying a new turbo from nissan, if even possible, will be stupid expensive... don't even consider this

Buying an equivilent size turbo to the new one, probably not worth the effort... you're throwing money at it for no gains.

Since you've got a R34 with a OP6 rear housing, It is a good turbo for high flowing.

High flowed turbocharger will bolton to factory setup with no modifications required. There is no need getting all supporting mods unless you are targeting the full potential of the turbocharger. Factory ECU usually works fine upto 10psi of boost.

High flowed turbocharger has factory appearance, that is unlikely to have you defected then another turbos.

Doing all of those modifications fit an internally gated GT3076 / 71, risking been defected, is not going to get you more then what you can get using one of our high flows.

Lastly we only charge $850 to carry it out with oil line supplied, not $2G.
